Trading Asian Hours

Recommended Posts

Hello all. I am interested in trading index futures during evenings (Eastern time), and through my research I found Taiwan index futures and Nifty index futures, both of which are USD denominated and trade on the Singapore exchange. Unfortunately, I was not able to find too much more. STW interests me the most, and I am looking for a) a broker (IB is one option it seems, and market data seems to be free for SGX echange?) b) Some statistical information on the contract, such as average daily volume, average range, spread, market depth. If anyone can help or even trades these contracts, I would love to hear from you.

 

If it makes a difference, I live in Canada. I would also trade small, 1-5 contracts, so even though I would like a tight spread, big depth is not essential. If anyone can recommend other options, I would love to hear your input, preferably products that trade in USD.

 

Cheers!

You might start by using the search functions on this site and researching the material already covered here. That's probably why no one wants to rewrite it all here, now.

Hi Kiwi,

 

I looked into what I thought were all the threads in regards to after-hours threads, Kospi threads, HSI threads....while I saw STW contract mentioned in a few, there was no mention of average daily range, avg number of contracts traded, or liquidity specifically for STW as well as the other questions I asked originally... Maybe I missed it, I will go back to read all the threads.

 

Thanks for the suggestion.

OK. Cool. As long as you've done the work.

 

I used to trade STW but don't any more because ranges dropped (they might be back again now) so I switched back to hsi.

 

Liquidity is great for any normal user. Normally its 1 tick although it will gap a little at technical points (break of prior lows say). You can get charts for it from quote.com or futuresource .. futuresource.com | Futures & Commodities Quotes

 

Try googling TAIWAN MSCI INDEX FUTURE for more info. Also the SGX website has volume data if I recall correctly.
